Please, please say a prayer for my beloved Zac. he's in hospital at the moment, having a blood transfusion. He's only 7 years old.
He was diagnosed with CRF just over a year ago, but he managed to bounce back from that initial crash and he's been his normal, happy, loving self ever since - until last Sunday. I took him to the emergency vet when he started drinking water then vomiting shortly after. I thought (hoped) I was just being an overprotective mother - he really didn't seem that sick. But he was. He was put onto IV fluids, and seemed to be doing well. His numbers came down and he started to eat (especially when I fed him his old favourite non-kidney food from a spoon!). He was quite aenemic, but seemed to be coping - until his blood count dropped to 11% this afternoon - hence the blood transfusion.
To make things even worse, an ultrasound showed his heart was also damaged. How much can go wrong for one little cat?
I hate that my first ever Pet Talk message is such a sad one (I've been reading for ages, always meaning to join), but he's so precious and I love him so much - I know everyone here understands how much - and praying is the only thing left I can think of to do for him.
Dawn (Zac and Zoe's Mum)
